minimal-llama VS whisper.cpp

I can't edit my comment now, but it's 30B that needs 18GB of VRAM.

LLaMA-13B, GPT-3 175B level, only needs 10GB of VRAM with the GPTQ 4bit quantization.

>do you think there's anything left to trim? like weight pruning, or LoRA, or I dunno, some kind of Huffman coding scheme that lets you mix 4-bit, 2-bit and 1-bit quantizations?

Absolutely. The GPTQ paper claims negligible output quality loss with 3-bit quantization. The GPTQ-for-LLaMA repo supports 3-bit quantization and inference. So this extra 25% savings is already possible.

As of right GPTQ-for-LLaMA is using a VRAM hungry attention method. Flash attention will reduce the requirements for 7B to 4GB and possibly fit 30B with a 2048 context window into 16GB, all before stacking 3-bit.

Pruning is a possibility but I'm not aware of anyone working on it yet.

LoRa has already been implemented. See https://github.com/zphang/minimal-llama#peft-fine-tuning-wit...

whisper.cpp [1] has a karaoke example that uses ffmpeg's drawtext filter to display rudimentary karaoke-like captions. It also supports diarisation. Perhaps it could be a starting point to create a better script that does what you need.

The ggml library is one of the first library for local LLM interference. It’s a pure C library that converts models to run on several devices, including desktops, laptops, and even mobile device - and therefore, it can also be considered as a tinkering tool, trying new optimizations, that will then be incorporated into other downstream projects. This tool is at the heart of several other projects, powering LLM interference on desktop or even mobile phones. Subprojects for running specific LLMs or LLM families exists, such as whisper.cpp.

I'm not sure if it is _fully_ openai compatible, but whispercpp has a server bundled that says it is "OAI-like": https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/master/example...

I don't have any direct experience with it... I've only played around with whisper locally, using scripts.

unless i'm misunderstanding `whisper.cpp` seems to support streaming & the repository includes a native example[0] and a WASM example[1] with a demo site[2].

Usage 1: Good to transcribe audio. An example use case could be to summarize YouTube videos or long courses. Usage 2: You talk with voice to your AI that responds with text (later with audio too). - https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

Has anyone played around with Whisper C++ for swift? I'm hitting a snag even on the demo. I've downloaded the github repo and everything matches up with this video [ https://youtu.be/b10OHCDHDQ4 ] but when he hits the transcribe button, it actually prints out the captioning. When I do it, it skips that part and just says "Done...". But it, does everything else - plays the audio, says it's transcribing.. just doesn't show me the transcription: and it's not in the debug window either. But the demo isn't throwing any errors, and I haven't messed with the code really so this is their example. https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
